Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of her proposed endeavor as a financial advisor. The AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner's work did not sufficiently extend beyond her own company and clientele to impact the industry more broadly, nor did it show significant potential for job creation or other substantial positive economic effects for the nation.
